Rep. Raúl Labrador, R-Idaho, today introduced The National Monument Designation Transparency and Accountability Act, a bill designed to reform the Antiquities Act by restraining unilateral presidential restrictions on federal lands. The bill requires approval by Congress and the legislature of any state with a proposed national monument before the President can formally designate the monument. The legislation also requires Congressional approval and public input before restricting access to public lands in the proposed monument. ... “Presidents in both parties have overstepped the original intent of the law,” Labrador said. “In Idaho, the current threat of a presidential designation of a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument has distorted the debate on how to manage those lands. It’s high time that Congress move to restore the balance between the branches"/spokesman Dan Popkey of Congressman Labrador's office.
